La Roux (2009)
La Roux is a two person electro/synthpop band from London, England, fronted by Eleanor (Elly) Jackson. Their sound is highly inflenced by 80's synthpop (and it seems Elly's hair was influenced by Flock of Seagulls).
Her hair is actually where the name of the band originates. In her own words:
To me, it means "red-haired one" – and it does, vaguely. It's just a male version of "red-haired one", which I think is even cooler, because I'm well androgynous anyway. So it kind of makes sense.
Before relleasing their only album so far, La Roux, they released some singles in 2008. Elly had reported that they began writing for the second album but it may not be out for quite some time due to the limited time to work on it. They are scheduled to be performing at Lilith Fair and doing some other shows as well this year.
La Roux has some really wicked beats, there isn't much I don't like from them at all and I like Elly's style. I'm a big fan of the 80's so I liked them as soon as I heard them.
BULLETPROOF IS THE BOMB DIGGITY.
